Two Adams?!

God didn't make two Adams to go out from the home and leave the children. He made an Adam and an Eve. He planned for the mother to be in the heart of the home and embrace and nurture children.

Important Information for Your Family

Unless you've had your head literally buried in the sand, you've probably heard some things about a vaccine being in the works for COVID-19.  This will probably be as helpful as the flu vaccine is in preventing flu--people who get vaccinated still get the flu and even worse.

As mothers who care for our families, I believe we should be educated in matters of health, so we know the best decisions to make regarding our families' health.  Don't just take your doctor's word for it.  Many vaccines also contain aborted babies--do you think Christians should put any such thing in theirs or their children's bodies?

In light of the vaccine that is in the works and that may even be pushed upon people, there is a good video series going on right now which has just started, about vaccines.  I highly recommend you sign up (for free) to watch the series and educate yourself on the truth about vaccines.  You will want to sign up as soon as possible because the series has just started, and I believe that each section is only available for one day.  I have not watched this series before, but it looks like it will be very good.  I've done my own vaccine research, but I'm interested to see what else I can learn from this series.   You can sign up here.

What You Will Learn

The History of Vaccines

Vaccination programs are given credit for eradicating some of the most devastating illnesses of the past, but they’re no longer immune to controversy of their own.

Vaccine Risks and Safety Concerns

Concerns about vaccine injuries, mercury toxicity, and autism have increased substantially in recent years, and public debate is once again heating up.

Full List of Options and Alternatives

You don’t have to pro- or anti-vaccine anymore. New options are available to guard against serious illness, based on your unique situation and risk factors.

ALL NEW Episodes for 2020!

Two new full episodes titled: "Censorship & Suppression" and "W.H.O.'s Not Telling the Truth?"

Another Free, Old Homemaking Book

Dear Ladies at Home,

Some of you have made requests for me to post more of these books, so I'm writing just another quick post today to give you a link to another free homemaking book.  The Book of Household Management by Mrs. Isabella Beeton has been republished in a sort of e-book form, so you may find it easier to read than the last one.  This one was published in 1861 originally and contains a lot of recipes.  Again, I'm not sure how practical it is, but it's sure to be interesting.  If you're looking for the original version, there are a lot of options to download here.  Also, if you prefer print versions, a lot of these old books can be purchased from Amazon or perhaps eBay.

I hope you enjoy this!

Preserving Your Precious Memories

I have been thinking a lot lately about how important it is to take note of the things we experience as a family.  The children say so many cute things that I later forget about, or we do something as a family and forget the details.  Our memories fail us, so how will the stories live on?  Wouldn't it be great if there was an easy way to keep records of our experiences and lives that we could share with those we love but still have privacy from others?  I don't want our precious memories to be forgotten, nor to forget the things the Lord has done for us.

Then I came upon a new site that was built for just this sort of thing, and even more.  iBiographer is a site that was created to preserve memories and family history.  I have never seen a site like it.  iBiographer is designed to help you create a living family history, however you want to do it.  It allows you to create and share content with family members all over the country, or even all over the world.  iBiographer is more private than a typical social media platform.  You can invite family and/or friends to contribute to your biographies, but you still get to have the final say on what stays in the content.

iBiographer allows you to

• Record births, marriages, and deaths
• Share photos, videos, music, documents, and stories
• Create new stories, and record activities in an online format anyone in the family can see
• Collaborate and interact with other family members to add content and keep memories alive

You can also create a Family Tree, biographies, and/or video shows for special events.

I really like the idea of this site and think it is a great tool for families.  I have been feeling a bit sad lately about our family memories not being preserved, but I think this is a great way to do it!  I think iBiographer is a great way to preserve life stories and memories and connect generations--a wonderful way to pass things down to your grandchildren, great-grandchildren, etc.  You can find more information about iBiographer in their press release here.

The History of Aprons

I found this circulating the internet this week.  I don't know who wrote it, but I found it very interesting and wanted to share with you.  I have about 4 aprons.  Three were gifts, and one I won in a giveaway.  I wear them always for cooking, sometimes for cleaning.

I don't think our kids know what an apron is. The principle use of Grandma's apron was to protect the dress underneath because she only had a few. It was also because it was easier to wash aprons than dresses and aprons used less material. But along with that, it served as a potholder for removing hot pans from the oven.

It was wonderful for drying children's tears, and on occasion was even used for cleaning out dirty ears.

From the chicken coop, the apron was used for carrying eggs, fussy chicks, and sometimes half-hatched eggs to be finished in the warming oven.

When company came, those aprons were ideal hiding places for shy kids..

And when the weather was cold, Grandma wrapped it around her arms.

Those big old aprons wiped many a perspiring brow, bent over the hot wood stove.

Chips and kindling wood were brought into the kitchen in that apron.

From the garden, it carried all sorts of vegetables. After the peas had been shelled, it carried out the hulls.

In the fall, the apron was used to bring in apples that had fallen from the trees.

When unexpected company drove up the road, it was surprising how much furniture that old apron could dust in a matter of seconds.

When dinner was ready, Grandma walked out onto the porch, waved her apron, and the men folk knew it was time to come in from the fields to dinner.

It will be a long time before someone invents something that will replace that 'old-time apron' that served so many purposes.

REMEMBER:

Grandma used to set her hot baked apple pies on the window sill to cool. Her granddaughters set theirs on the window sill to thaw.

They would go crazy now trying to figure out how many germs were on that apron.

I don't think I ever caught anything from an apron - but love
